Star Trek: D-A-C coming next month

A new Star Trek game is on the way for PC, Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network.

Star Trek: D-A-C is a top-down shooter inspired by the forthcoming movie. You get to control various ships as Starfleet and the Romulan Empire battle it out.

There are single-player, online multiplayer and online co-op modes, and up to 12 players can take part in team combat. Game types include Team Deathmatch and Assault, plus Conquest.

There are three ship types for each faction - Flagship, Fighter and Bomber. You'll get to muck about with the new U.S.S. Enterprise as seen on the big screen, and music and sound effects from the movie are promised too.

Star Trek: D-A-C will launch via Xbox Live in May, with PSN and PC versions to be released "shortly thereafter". There's no word on a price point yet.
